Wretch No More

I was born in the river bed
Got my momma's eyes and my daddy's hand
He chained me to a troubled start
Gave me wandering feet and a restless heart
The only thing I knew was loss
Until I met the rugged cross
That's when Jesus reconciled
And the prodigal became a child
Amazing grace
What love divine
That saw a slave
Wrapped up in chains
And said "he's mine"
How sweet the day
Love won the war
Heaven came down
And said I've been found
I'm a wretch no more
To this day I can't explain
Why He chose to make the trade
His beauty for my shame and scorn
His victory for my crown of thorns
And on the days I lose my step
And troubles make my heart forget
His kindness brings me back again
To the place where mercy took me in
Amazing grace
What love divine
That saw a slave
Wrapped up in chains
And said "he's mine"
How sweet the day
Love won the war
Heaven came down
And said I've been found
I'm a wretch no more
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Out of the gutter
Out of the trash
You've called me beautiful
Out of the darkness
And hame of the past
You've called me to be yours
Amazing grace
What love divine
That saw this slave
Wrapped up in chains
And said "he's mine"
How sweet the day
Love won the war
And Heaven came down
And said I've been found
Heaven came down
And placed on a crown
Then Heaven came down
And said you've been found
I'm a wretch no more
